Quantum Dynamics of Electron–Hole Separation in Stacked Perylene Diimide-Based Self-Assembled Nanostructures

Résumé

We report on high-dimensional quantum dynamical simulations of electron−hole separation in self-assembled mesomorphic nanostructures composed of donor−acceptor conjugated co-oligomers. The latter are based on perylene diimide (PDI) acceptor units combined with fluorene-thiophene-benzothiadiazole donor units, which form highly ordered, stacked structural motifs upon self-assembly. Simulations are shown for a first-principles parametrized model lattice of 25 stacked PDI units under the effects of an applied external field and temperature. The simulations are carried out with the multilayer multiconfiguration timedependent Hartree (ML-MCTDH) method with nearly 900 vibrational degrees of freedom and 25 electronic states. Temperature effects are included using the thermofield dynamics approach. A transition between a short-time coherent dynamics and a kinetic regime is highlighted. From a flux-overpopulation analysis, electron−hole dissociation rates are obtained in the range of 5−20 ns −1 in the absence of static disorder, exhibiting a moderate field and temperature dependence. These results for electron−hole separation rates can be employed as a benchmark to calibrate the parametrization of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations applied to much larger lattice sizes.
